Learning Godot

First thoughts here.

October 24:

docs: Why does Godot not use exceptions?
me: WTF O_O

October 25:

“Oh so that’s what nodes mean”

sees angular_speed
shivers
“oh wow my partner’s job is so technical”

November 2:

Finally got started with the 2D game tutorial!

Tried Pomodoro by Forest app, and realized I am so prone to getting side-tracked. Case in point: this Git issue.

Oh wow, I haven’t seen this in a long-ass time:

First thoughts on ~Godot~ Gdscript actually

  • Godot is less than 200 MB :O
  • How to make Cherry theme? Hehe will check this next time. Let’s avoid the rabbit hole.
  • The prompt to select directory naming convention led me to the Gdscript docs immediately! Since the docs mention that it’s close to Python, I chose snake-case.
  • The syntax is actually very readable. I read til about a third of the way, but thought that I didn’t even read about the Typescript (my main) syntax this much before I started development, (and it’s 3am now) so I’m leaving this for now.

Hopefully, I can actually get started on Godot tomorrow!
